And we men / husbands / have zero clue what women go through because of zero education. As a result, we don’t know how to be supportive.

[jillybean]

The alcohol intolerance is real :( it makes me so sick!

[claudettewhite]

Woman go through so much physically. It feels crazy some days!

My Doctor gave me antibiotics for 14 days for an ear infection🙈 I took a few and dumped the rest cause I did NOT have an ear infection. I was experiencing vertigo and the ringing in my ear. I don't think they have a clue what's going on with us.Appreciate you Doc.

The unusual one that I have is occasional pulsatile tinnitus. It started at a particularly stressful time, and I thought that's what brought it on, at age 43. It could have just been coincidental to the stress and perimenopause was the real reason. I still have it occasionally many years post-menopause and will be interested in seeing if hormone replacement alleviates it.

Aaaaand, lets not forget a UTI!!!
felt a little like glass a cpl xs when I peed in the last cpl days. Had a nurse appt yesterday for a flu shot, so asked if we cld run a quick urine, & gkad I did, because, yep, I had one!! 😑 I drink a good amount of water, & mainly only water, but after googling it, yes, hormone changes in perimenapause can raise a UTI.
Greeeaaat!

You're the first person to explain my burning tongue - thank you so much! 💞

[jamiecurley]

What Nobody talks about is the crazy unpredictable periods! I wasn't prepared.😮😢

[lenoraparrish]

I need to applaud you for the concern and knowledge. I thought I was coming down with some undiagnosed disease.😢
Thank you so very much!😊

[irinatelyatinskaya]

Hot flushes, burning tongue, sweat fatigue, and gain weights.😢for 11 years 😂

[mechjean]

What about changes in tastes? Food is so bland suddenly!

[CrazyMaryJo]

76, been off estrogen 2 years. Itchy ears and scalp start @ 7:30 pm. Same time as hot flashes. 😫

[beverleyrodriguez]

I don't remember ever having a UTI before menopause!

[Danit.Talkscentswithme]

I’m calling my doctor tomorrow. I’ve been on HRT for months now. It was fine for a while, I had to lower my progesterone to 100 mg instead of 200 mg. I’m also on the estradiol patch (Dotti) 0.05 mg
I’ve noticed I recently after I take progesterone, after 3 days, I have allergy symptoms and itchy skin with a red rash on face neck, even my eyelids and scalp itch. A Benadryl helped a little bit . I’m about to take another Benadryl. Calling my doctor tomorrow to find out if I could be tested to see if I have a sensitivity to HRT. I don’t want to stop HRT, I feel like it has helped . It’s frustrating, can you maybe give me some insight or give me advice on what to say to my doctor tomorrow?

[beverleyrodriguez]

I need to find a good Dr around here but the only one I know does the natural pellet treatment. That did help with my hot flashes but I gained weight!

[Tdsbbb-sh]

So apparently it's very hard for women to get testosterone. Insurance doesn't want to pay for it either. I'm in Idaho so that might make a difference but I don't think so because it's an FDA thing. So any suggestions on how to get the testosterone without avoiding paying your other bills lol

[flowers]

Can it cause reduced function like hard to take a full breath what about wheezing what about phlegm and constant coughing

[tealeh]

Any solutions..HRT only works for a few years...your receptors get desensitized

[corabeardog]

I got the ears... But why does it happen??
